Poland not to abandon ethnic minority in Belarus

Published: 27 July 2005 y., Wednesday

President Aleksander Kwasniewski believes that Belarusian attacks on Poland are an organized action aimed at provoking the Polish side to undertake steps "controversial from the point of view of the European Union". He added that Poland would not resign from protecting its own minority in Belarus.

Speaking to Radio Three, the president said Poles should be very firm, cool and patient. He said he was convinced that the "European Union will support us and hold talks with partners in Belarus".

"We must not get involved in rowdy campaigns aimed at showing that Poland is not a carrier of peace and stability," the president stressed.

On Sunday [24 July], Channel One of Belarussian TV broadcast a 12-minute programme on alleged Polish spies operations under the cover of the Polish embassy in Minsk.
